Find Ancestors

Gillian -

On page 1 of this thread you said,
"my father and uncle were alfred/emily children sidney and reginald born 1912 and 1920"

Does that mean you know all about Sidney and Reginald's descendants and don't need us to look for them?

If so, that leaves :
William 1901 (of whom we can find no trace other than his birth and the 1901 census),
Alfred 1899 (we can't find his birth, he's not with his parents in 1901, but is with them in 1911);
Florence Ethel 1910, who died in infancy;
James Alexander 23/03/1904;
and
Emily Elizabeth Louise 1906.

Emily Elizabeth Louise's marriage:

Emily Elizabeth Wills
in the London, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1936
Name: Emily Elizabeth Wills
Gender: Male
Marriage Age: 21
Record Type: Marriage
Birth Date: abt 1906
Marriage Date: 29 Jun 1927
Marriage Place: St Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, Southwark, England

Emily's death:

Emily Elizabeth L Cornwall
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Emily Elizabeth L Cornwall
Death Age: 84
Birth Date: 8 Dec 1905

You can find details of the births of her children on FreeBMD by putting in the surnames Cornwall and Wills.

There appear to have been three daughters, born well apart, in 1928, 1936, and 1946.

The daughter born in 1928 :

Births Sep 1928 (>99%)
Cornwall Lilian F Wills St.Olave 1d 182

She married in Southwark in 1949

Marriages Dec 1949 (>99%)
Cornwall Lilian F Grogan Southwark 5d 1050
Grogan James R Cornwall Southwark 5d 1050

and had two children in Southwark, in 1953 and 1964 (find the names on FreeBMD),

And died in 1989:

Deaths 1989 (60%)
GROGAN LILLIAN FRANCES 18JY1928 SOUTHWARK 15 110

Re Lillian's son born in 1953 -

he may have married in Lewisham in 1980, though of course I can't be sure without seeing the marriage cert.

If that's the correct marriage, they had a son in 1981, in Lewisham, and they were living in Wales in 2012.

The 1981 son may now be living in London, per the 2021 ER..

I know about Sydney children and reg had no issue
thanks

As advised on your deleted FLR thread, try to contact the members who have EMILY in their GR trees

You need to be pro-active.

thanks everybody for help

hi query please i have found daughters of Emily and the person who put info on is this a relative? or just somebody who added info thanks

You will have to make contact and ask the person/people concerned

We don’t have any idea. Although, by definition, if the names are in someone’s family tree, that person is related.

If you mean me, because I posted about Emily and her descendants yesterday at 20:48 , 20:59 , and 21:12 (and I did wonder if you had read them) - I am not a relative in any way.
Just one of the volunteer helpers here on the GR boards.

Gilian

You say you have found daughters of Emily..................have YOU found them, or have you seen info someone else found?

I though you meant you'd looked in 'search all member trees', which is what you NEED to do

I have lookied and found michael j grogan in Lewisham on ER but other people with the name grogan but not Michael in lewisham argyllgran i did read your posts and i agree you are not a relative and just a volunteer and thanks for all your help amd Erika i found details of daughters NOT SOMEBODY ELSE FOUND will end search now on this post

That's good to know - you are obviously making progress. Where did you find the info about the daughters?

BUT.....do please look where you've been advised - it may prove very worthwhile

Gillian -
I'll send you a private message about the 1981 son, rather than post the details on this public site.
Keep an eye open for an email from GR with a link to my message.

His mother's maiden name isn't what you are expecting, because she had been married before.


[PM of thanks received ]

i sent message to people who could be related on the start of the month but no reply so i assume they have changed address or no longer a member??? just have to be patient and wait

It may take months for them to react.

Monitor your sent messages to see if they have been opened

thanks ErikaH will do
